Zine Making

Unfolding New York: DIY Zine Archives
In this hands-on workshop, participants will create zines that serve as personal archives of New York City—tracing its spirit, life, and evidence through image, text, and collage. Drawing from found materials and personal ephemera—ticket stubs, postcards, photos, notes, or any flat object that holds a memory of the city—you will explore how the city’s streets, neighborhoods, and fleeting moments can be transformed into layered, tactile pages. Through cutting, writing, photocopying, and iterating, each zine becomes a living record of both intimate and collective experiences of NYC. No prior art experience is necessary; just bring your curiosity, your stories, and the fragments of the city that matter to you, and leave with a zine that folds together memory, imagination, and the energy of New York. Multiple zine formats will be explored.
